Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello is reminding college students not to delay requesting an absentee ballot for the upcoming Presidential Election if they cannot come home to vote in November. It is anticipated that the 2008 Presidential Election will create a record surge in absentee ballot applications at the Mercer County Clerk’s office this year. “Do not wait until October to get your absentee ballot application processed if you are going away to college. Do it now before you leave for college and avoid unnecessary delays,” said Ms. Sollami Covello. Tuesday, October 14 is the last day to register to vote for the upcoming election, and Tuesday, October 28, is the last day to apply for an absentee ballot by mail. Voters interested in obtaining an absentee ballot application or voter registration form in person, may visit the Mercer County Clerk’s Elections Office, located on the 2nd floor in the Old Courthouse, 209 South Broad Street, Trenton, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Prospective voters may also visit the Mercer County Connection located in the Hamilton Square Shopping Center on Highway 33 and Paxson Avenue in Hamilton. The County Connection satellite office offers evening and Saturday hours for the convenience of Mercer County residents. New voters can also find absentee ballot applications and voter registration forms by visiting www.MercerCounty.org and going to the section labeled “County Clerk.” Forms are available in both English and Spanish. To have an absentee ballot application or voter registration form mailed to you, call (609) 989-6495.
